After the Senate’s vote on Saturday confirming Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell filed cloture motions on the extremely-long-pending nominations of Jeffrey Clark and Eric Dreiband to the positions, respectively, of Assistant Attorney General for DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources divisions and Assistant Attorney General for DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. The votes on the cloture motions should occur on Wednesday morning.
Both Clark and Dreiband were first nominated in June 2017, some sixteen months ago.
